Terrible ParentingMy parents used to lock my brother, sister and I in the car while they went to the pub for a "quick one" after work. This quick one might last several hours, during which they would send bottles of Indian Tonic Water to us by way of refreshment.
On one particularly cold evening, bored stupid, we lit a small bonfire on the back seat of the car using the cigarette lighter and the contents of the glove box. We owe our lives to passing winos. (BTW: Please no more Maddie or Jesus gags, they've been done.)

Just had a thoughtre Rachelswipe's story below about layabouts being given wads of cash to furnish their houses.
I think it would be a good idea if councils appointed "personal shoppers" to go with the grant recipients on their shopping trips and make sure they buy carpets, curtains and the like instead of Sky boxes and flash tellies. I'm sure they'd save enough money to justify the extra salary.
And I'm maybe being an elitist snob here, but it worries me that someone with an IQ of 100 seems pretty dim. The most worrying thing is that is, by definition, the average, so about half the population are actually less intelligent than this.
(Yes, I know that high IQ doesn't make you a better person, and also the converse. I'm just sounding off)
